Guided meditation is a powerful and effective tool that aids victims of abuse and betrayal.

Coach Peggy, Betrayal Trauma Recovery coach, joins Anne on the free BTR podcast to breakdown what guided meditation is and how it can help betrayed and abused women. Listen to the BTR podcast and read the full transcript below for more.
What Is Guided Meditation?
Unlike traditional therapy, guided meditation allows women to relax, heal, and process without having to have a conversation. For some victims, this is an ideal foundational practice for healing from trauma.

As trained specialists lead a guided meditation session, victims are led through a process of mindfulness and relaxation as they follow verbal cues to elicit thoughts, processes, and images that may help victims on their healing journey.
Guided Meditation is a Gentle Process
Another benefit of guided meditation for victims is that there is no wrong way to do it. Women can find comfort in the slow process of practicing meditation without beating themselves up for not progressing faster toward healing.

Coach Peggy, a guided meditation specialist, describes the gentle work she does with victims as they begin practicing meditation:
In an individual process, if you get stuck I get to work with you on it and we get to figure out what that is. We might go into the feelings, what it feels like. There are just all kinds of tools that I can use to help you access this deeper part of you. So, if this is your first introduction to something like this and nothing happened, no problem, we just need to work together.
